EIecy Written in the Tender of n Locomotive
Now fades the Eastern landscape from the view.
And wild and woolly the Western plains;
Around are Democrats all tough and true.
And Jeffersoniansm solely reigns.
Save that on yonder bleak and lonesome hill
A moon-eyed mugwump seems to stand and pou&
At spoilsmen-all but II are spoilsmen still
Who fain would see the rascals all turned out.
In all the cities of the wondrous West,
In all the villages. not overclean.
Scattered upon the prairie's ample breast,
Snubbed and neglected Democrats seen.
For them no public Office opes it's door.
Nor at the public crib they crunch the corn;
No easy tasks for them from ten TO four
For they are Democrats, and all forlorn.
Oft did their voices from the stump resound,
Their votes oft slew the fierce Republicans.
What profit in the service have they foundl
The name of most offensive partisans.
Full many an unappreciated man
The Western towns and villages may hold
Full many patriot. under Growers ban,
Is left to and shiver in the cold
Some ought-to-be collectors. who withstood
Their party's foes with pertinacious spunk
Some who would be postmasters If they could,
And some whose hopes are in departments sunk.
Yet even these beset our passing train,
Respecting, though they do not love. the man;
Too mode st and too ipdly to complain
They cheer the President, but not his plan.

A second nomination sought him not,

THE attention of the people of Indiana will
be again attracted to the horrible atrocities
and foul abuses committed and permitted in
the Hospital for the Insane. Several in
mates scalded and burned to death, jumped
to death, beaten with rubber hose. the pa
tients fed on maggoty butter, diseased pork
and sour prunes, attendants living in luxury
and drawing pay, officials away from the
State and pocketing full salaries-these are
some of the fruits of the system of partisan
management inaugurated and maintained by
the Harrson-Coy Sullivan gang

W. F. A. BERNHAMER was president of the
canvassing board which passed the forged
tally-sheets. He was selected by the gang to
aid and permit that crime to bear fruit. He
was recently removed by the Circuit Court

cause Of gross unftness for the trust The
same Bernhamer is made inspector of the
election in his ward for next Tuesday by the

was made by 1.-The unconvicted criminals,
whose escape from the penitentiary is dis

jurisprudence, both State and national?"

At lions A. NJ E. Church, last evening a
spirited and largely attended meeting of colored
citizens OF that section of the city was held in
the interest of law and order. 1t represented
the intelligence and worth OF the race in a
marked degree. Among those present were
many white workingmen, who by their pres
ence, showed how strong a hold the issue in this
campaign has them. AS the speaking pro-
crossed the enthusiasm grew until the responses
from all parts of the house were frequent sharp
and appropriate. A telling argument against
the Coy gakg never failed to bring out the
heartiest applause. DR.. ]. It. Boyd, whose po-
litical interests usually with the Prohibition
party was introduced by the chairman George
W. CheathaIn, the president of the Porter

During tho Doctors speech Mayor Denny
came into the room, his entrance being signaled

William Henderson has voted the regular

support to the nominees on the national ticket

public good can be better served by the election
of Mr.. Denny than by putting DR.. Edenharter
